Hongyu GDC is also within walking distance of a number of hotel options making it very convenient for racers and their crews. With classes for 1:8 Onroad, 1:8 GT Nitro and Electric, and 1:10 Nitro Touring Car, the race will feature spec tyres and controlled fuel. Teaming up with RC racing registration platform RC Race Pal (RRP), you can register your entry here where you will also find more details about each of the classes that will make up the inaugural Nitro Party.

Mikimodel MS2.0 Front and Rear Upper Decks

Adding further to its range of aftermarket parts for Yokomo’s MS2.0 Electric Touring Car, Italy’s Mikimodel has released these new front and rear upper decks. They have worked to develop a specific product for the front and a specific product for the rear, with the goal of providing the greatest possible traction while making the front end easier to manage. The “T”-shaped deck is dedicated to the front and its unique shape provides excellent entry into the wheelbase, providing excellent handling, making the car extremely easy to drive. The rear upper deck, on the other hand, is much stiffer, providing excellent traction and driving stability.

Serpent SRX8GTE R 1:8 Electric GT

Following the release of its SRX8GT R 1:8 GT Nitro Car ahead of the IFMAR 1:8 GT World Championships in Chile, Serpent has now released the R version of the electric SRX8GTE. The R is the culmination of contributions from World Championship Top Qualifier Andrea Catanzani and his father, Roberto. Serpent has designed a new flat chassis based on the new IFMAR/EFRA rules and to enhance the flex characteristics, the new chassis is 4mm thick in most areas and is designed without side dams. It offers the ideal flex for a race car that is both fast and easy to handle. To still have the advantage of the kickup suspension Serpent designed a special front adaptor to keep the same front bulkheads and c-hubs. They have saved 53 grams (adaptor included) on the previous chassis. An optional carbon chassis with distinct flex characteristics will be available to enhance performance on specific tracks. This save 61 grams on the aluminium chassis with the adaptor included. Perhaps the most significant advancement of the R platform comes from the revised geometry. In addition to adjustments in the roll centre roll centre migration, and camber change, the narrower track width stands out as the most noticeable modification. Another key aspect is the altered relationship between wheel and shock movement. Specific to the Electric chassis Serpent has updated the Split centre diff design and improved the motor mount. With the existing slide system and 1 screw holding already being a great staple, we kept that the same. However, the motor mount’s shape has been also changed to accept the new split diff and has been lightened in the process to reduce weight.

Midland Indoor Carpet C/ship Round 2 – Report

Based in Telford in the UK, Round 2 of the Midland Indoor Carpet Championship took place last weekend where fresh from his IFMAR 1:8 Onroad World Championship Finale debut in Chile, Alex Thurston took the Modified TC win.

Junior Andrea Torregiani lined up 4th with Liam Brookes and Sam Richardson close behind in 5th and 6th. Less than a second separating the three drivers. Thurston edged out Chodzynski in a nail-biting finish, with only a tiny margin separating the two at the finish. Eagles completed a fiercely competitive podium, finishing just behind the top two in what was one of the closest three-way battles of the season so far. Richardson, Alex Bold, and Liam Brooks were all tightly bunched behind the leaders, trading positions and keeping the intensity high throughout the race. Paul Chambers would cross the line in 7th, while Torregiani had a final to forget despite showing amazing speed all day.
